What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Feedback on the Morimoto headlights? Looking at ordering a set.

 

I felt naked without it so I had buy another lol

 

Thanks! First truck and got it last year new. It's been a fun year!

 

I installed grille lights that attach with custom 3D printed brackets on my 2019 SR5.





I've ordered enough parts to make more kits if anyone is interested. I believe all 2016-2019 SR, SR5, and Limited grilles are similar. Let me know if I have that wrong. The sale thread can be found at https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/grille-light-kit-2016-2019-tacoma-sr-sr5-limited.660952/

 

Better or worse? I know some of you guys don’t like the chrome grill, but honestly I think I might like it more. What do you guys think?

 

6112s up front and Baja designs fogs.

 

I do have some spare PCBs and parts I would sell at cost (assembled or not). As far as selling these in quantity, it would need more work to get it "kit ready". Generally I lose interest in projects after I complete it lol.

With some feedback on what people would want, I would be happy to make a new rev of this.

One of the things I was thinking about changing was the connectors I used, it was too much of a pain to get the pins seated correctly in the connector. And crimp/solder those pins was annoying to. Alternate would be just direct solder connections, probably be the easiest since I have the pins labeled by wire color. And then just 3D print some strain relief.

Even without all 4 channels being used, I think this is a much cleaner install than some of the youtube videos I seen on installing the ABC. And no power is drawn from the HU (unless the bypass is used), it draws camera power from the battery. Device only draws 0.67mA in standby mode and shuts off completely when the truck is off.


Send me a PM if interested and I'll do an inventory and see what I have for parts left.

 

Worse. I'm leaning towards painting my chrome grille black.

 

Used set for sell in the BST thread for $800

Yeah, the dude only drove it about.2 miles. I followed the whole oil trail.

 

15 bucks an hour....stoned...I have no idea

 

The no sh!t number is 20 ish foot pounds. That is about 1 tenth of a turn after it bottoms out hand tight.

 

Did they do a complete inspection on the engine afterwards? Check compression, oil pump performance, etc.

 

Nope, I get your sentiment, but it was still pissing oul like a mofo when it got in the door, it never dried out!

I was f-ing pissed though.

Nie wieder.

Never again.

 

I like the chrome one too!

 

On a lighter note, this is what i did taday

 

Absolutely beautiful truck. Well done

 

very nice!!

 

There ain't NOTHING wrong with chrome. Some folks don't like it, but the rest of us do.
